I have filed a follow up bug to remove "OfflineResourceList" interface we
use: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1435261
Also Anne filed a bug on the standard as it appears other browsers are

This also means we can move the tests into Web Platform Tests to ensure all
browsers implement the same.
